desi–gned is New England's first publication for the South Asian diaspora: a compilation of the living archives of ingenious craftsmanship, subaltern histories, and current contemplations, of untold stories that need to be shared.

desi–gned centers native terminology as a movement in the reclamation of the histories, traditions, and identities that have endured generations of erasure; acts on reviving print and consider the contribution of physical knowledge archives in the persistence of information and memory in human spaces; and subverts conventional methods of knowledge transmission and creative expression by providing more accessible, equitable and sustainable means for knowing.

Committed to work together to build a future that champions greater acknowledgement, accessibility, and inclusivity towards peoples and perspectives from all cultures, backgrounds, and traditions, desi–gned is free of any financial barriers for entry— for any, and every one.

Issue 2 reinterprets and recontextualizes omnipresent fragments of the contemporary.
